If you are a new rider that wants a solid bike for less than $500 this is the bike for you. It includes chromoly parts that keep it strong. I absolutely love the white and red color way. This bike is one of my favorites from Fit’s 2020 line.

2020 Fit Phantom Price
$440 is a pretty good price for the frame. Slightly more expensive than the 2020 Fit STR. However, it’s a better quality bike because it has a full chromoly frame.
2020 Fit Phantom Quality
The quality is decent. Like I said, it has a full chromoly frame. It also comes with chromoly bars and forks. Single walls suck, they bend and they don’t last when you are doing spins and stuff like that.
Highlights
Looks sick!
This might be personal opinion, but I think that the bike looks super sick with the red and white color way. Good work.
Lowlights
Not worth the price
The Phantom has the same issue as the 2020 STR. It’s just not worth the price. For $440 they could have at least put a double wall rear rim.
Buy if you are learning:
- Bunny hops
- x-up
- feeble
- double pegs
- pull up barspins
Don’t buy if you are learning:
- 360
- tail-whips
- big stair-sets
- feeble to spin
Conclusion 🤩
It’s a pretty fair bike. I think that for a beginner it will be alright, you might need to buy new wheels eventually, but at least the chromoly frame will last a while.
